Chapter 265

"serious? You’re truly giving your agreement to marry me?”

Arielle nodded and replied, “As you said, getting married now will be beneficial to us both. However…”

The moment Vinson heard the contradicting word, his heart lodged in his throat again, and he promptly
questioned, “However?”

“However, I’ve got to lay down a ground rule with you. Although we’re only getting married on paper,
you can’t hook up with another woman before we divorce. Likewise, I’ll be keeping my distance
from the opposite sex. We must keep each other’s dignity and reputation intact. If either of us falls in
love with someone else, it’s best if we inform the other at once and get a divorce.”

Arielle’s expression was extremely solemn.

While this is only a sham marriage, I don‘t want to be cheated on. Cindy and Henrick‘s matter is alread
y nauseating enough
to me, so I really don‘t want to experience the same thing my mother went through

Despite his nervousness, Vinson himself had no idea why he was feeling a tad fearful.

As time ticked by, he felt that time had never gone so slowly in his entire life, nor had he ever
experienced such torment.

At long last, Arielle jerked her head up and looked at him. Nodding, she replied, “Okay. We’ll get
married, then.”

It’s just a sham marriage, so I don’t have to think too much about it. As long as
we both benefit from it, I don‘t have to turn his suggestion down. As he said, this will only be beneficial t



o me. Even if I‘ve got to give him half my assets after we divorce, I don‘t mind sharing some of my mon
ey with a kind person like him.

Naturally, Vinson had no inkling that he had been again labeled as “kind” by her. He only felt that he
had never been as euphoric as he was at that moment.

He even wondered if it was real or whether he was dreaming.

Thus, he couldn’t help seeking confirmation, asking once more, “Are you

Upon hearing her stipulation, Vinson’s heart finally settled back in his chest.

“Don’t worry.” He stared straight at her and promised, “There won’t be any other woman for me besides
you throughout the duration of our marriage. I’ll keep your dignity intact and make you the most
enviable Mrs. Nightshire.”

Having said that, he queried, “Do we need a black and white contract? If I breach our agreement, I’ll
leave the marriage without taking anything with me, and Nightshire Group will be yours.”

At that, Arielle was completely dumbfounded. “Don’t you think you’re taking this too far?”

“Nope.” Composing himself, Vinson languidly commented, “I’m confident that I’ll never do such a thing.
What about you? Will you hook up with another man?”

“Absolutely not!” Arielle answered resolutely

“All right, it’s a deal, then. When should we get married?”

Arielle pondered for a moment before replying, “Anytime works for me, but since we’ve decided on the
matter, it’ll be best to seal the deal as soon as possible.”

“Okay.” Vinson got to his feet. “Let’s go, then.”



For a moment, Arielle was still rather lost. “Where to?” she inquired in bewilderment

“To City Hall to get married!” Vinson answered matter-of-factly.

Arielle was instantly stunned and only found her voice after two seconds. “R Right now?”

Vinson nodded in affirmation. “Of course. Didn’t you say it’s best to seal the deal as soon as possible?”

All at once, Arielle was rendered speechless. I never thought that it‘d be this soon!

A few seconds later, she remarked, “Don’t you need to discuss with your mother when it’s a crucial
matter such as marriage? She might not necessarily agree…”

In response, Vinson sneered as a gleam of coldness glinted in his eyes.



“Getting married is my personal affair. No one can sway my decision, not even her.”

“Then… What about your household registry and the like?”

Turning to her, Vinson replied, “I’ve mentioned this suggestion to you back then, no? After that, I’ve
been carrying my household registry with me everywhere. It’s in the car.”
